w - whole note
h - half note
q - quarter note
e - eight note
s - sixteenth note
t - thirty-second note

W - whole rest
H - half rest
Q - quarter rest
E - eight rest
S - sixteenth rest

+ is used to show slurs between notes, eg slide up from 5 to 7 without
picking the 7 would be notated like :
|---5/7----
e+e
sliding up with picking the 7 would be notated like :
|---5/7----
e e
Notes without a note length are cue notes.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend (amount of bend above the measure)
